Continuing our day thread theme, Rex is far from the only balloon to meet an unfortunate fate during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. These ones might not have interesting backstories or video of the moment they went boom, but still make for amusing pictures. Enjoy, and I hope everyone had a great day!
Woody Woodpecker’s head in the process of detaching, 1986.
